Black Assassin

Chapter 22

"...yes?"

"Well if they say bad things let them say bad things because you as my trainer must be pretty strong to challenge me to a one-on-one fight."

"I guess but, I not that good at fighting."

"Then why did you challenge me in the first place?"

"Well I challenged you because I believe that if I trained with you people will start to like me instead of hating me like they were before."

"I don't think that is true. Wait I know that isn't true Damien. Come on let's train."

"Ok but, I warned you Raven."

"Damien I don't care if they pick on me." I grab his hand.

"Which way Damien is the training area?"

"Take a left here then take a right out to the woods."

"Ok, let's get training!" I take a left at the end of the hallway then I saw the opening to the outside that Damien was talking about. I walk towards the opening when someone shoves me out of the way. I look up to a beefed up man. Maybe 6'11. And here I am a short female with a man I am dragging to the door. I might look scrawny and all but, I'm the total opposite of scrawny. Because of my power I'm here.

"Oh I forgot to tell you Raven. There is going to be a contest today. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. It was only because I thought you weren't ready to fight yet." I look back at him.

"You don't think I'm ready?"

"...No?"

"Well you shall see the magic happen." I look back at the guy I ran into. He was glaring at me.

"Hey goth girl this is not for beginners this is for the B-class people you little wimp."

"By the way my name is not goth girl it's Raven. And I'm here because my instructor told me that this is the place that I'm training. And if you have any problems talk to my trainer."

"Raven, is it? Well your trainer there is wimpy he doesn't have any powers because his name is Damien and his brother is the only one who has powers in that family. So, I don't think he can train you that much if you have a power of talking back and he barely talks back."

"If you think that is my power well then I shall see you in the fighting area. And you shall see that you are completely wrong Beefy."

"...Beefy? Did you just call me beefy?!?" He comes right for me and no one stops him. Well I don't want to get hurt now when I just had gotten better today. I move out of the way and Beefy falls head first into the ground. When he gets up he has a bloody nose. I can't help but, not laugh. He looked funny because of how weak he looked with a bloody nose.

"Well see you Beefy in the arena." I walk through the door and Damien and I start to laugh. We get weird glances beut, we don't care. Once we stop Damien led me to deep woods and we were following a long path. Damien leeds me to another path that looked like it wasn't very worn. We jump over a river and what I find is a large clearing that no one else was on and what looked like was it was very worn here.

"Damien what is this?"

"This is my secret training area. No one knows about this place."

"Wow I'm surprised no one knows about this area!"

"Well not many people can get over here really."

"What do you mean Damien?"

"Well that path that we went on lots of people would never be able to make that jump and also not many people could survive with that many poisonous things in the path."

"Damien that would mean that you wouldn't be able to make it either since you are powerless."

"That is true but, only if I was powerless."

"Wait...what do you mean if you were powerless?"

"Well actually I'm not powerless. At all I actually have a power and my parents don't know about it."

"And what power is that Damien?"

"It is the power to survive. That means whatever is thrown at me I can save myself. And also since I had passed that passage it proves that I have the power."

"And....your parents don't know?"

"Nope because they had kicked me out once I was old enough to take care of myself. So, they don't know that I have this power."

"And why are you telling me this?"

"Well we are going to be part of a team so, I think that you are going to want to know what I can do. And the same for you I will want to know more about you then what I already know."

"And what do you know?"

"Well, that you really want to train right now......"

"About that we might want to get started because we might not be able to have enough time to train for the contest."

"Alright I agree Raven." He walks to the other side of where we were and he puts his hands up.

"Damien are we allowing knifes and other weapons?"

"No I wouldn't because in the matches we are only allowed to use your fists or whatever power that you have."

"That sucks."

"I know it does but, for this we can either work in teams or you can work alone."

"So, like a tag team?"

"Yes, like a tag team."

"Okay thanks for that information because we shall get ready to fight."

"Alright Raven." I put my hands up and I nod my head indicating that I was ready. He starts to count down.

"5.....4......3.....2.....1...Go!" I stay right where I am and while Damien comes running at me he almost lands a punch in my stomach but, I block it with my arm. He backs away and where he had hit my arm it was stinging also it was turning red. He gets ready for another attack but, I move out of the way before he tries to attack me when he is going into the direction I tap him in the shoulder signaling that he was hit. He falls to the ground falling face first into the ground.
